The other day I found an article online about expressions in English and their crazy origins. I thought I'd share 5 of them with you and hopefully you find these origins as interesting as I did. The expressions that we'll take a look at in this episode are to bite the bullet / to break the ice / to butter someone up / to go the whole nine yards / to rub the wrong way. You might know some of these, but I bet their origins will surprise you.

Expressions are a super important part of language learning because they allow us to speak naturally and communicate efficiently. This episode will also teach you how to use these different expressions in the context of your day-to-day life. Hope you enjoy this episode of English with Dane!
